Comment on Mental Healthcare costs thousands of dollars and is hard to access? That's *crazy*!

  I still don’t get it. They’re telling you to stop? With a stopper sock?

    They’re socks with grippy material on the bottom to keep you from slipping. They give them to you when you’re admitted to the hospital. The implication is that they were sent to the psych ward and put on suicide watch.

      Oh, thank you. I did not at all connect them to mental wards or hospitals. I though they have slippers there. Like in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

        It’s probably just safer and cheaper with the socks these days.

    It is my understanding that the joke is misinterpreted or maybe correctly interpreted as some serious problem with the person, so that the therapist puts them in a mental hospital, where those things are worn instead of shoes.

      Thank you, I did not think of that.
